Better Off This Way: Eren Jaeger x Reader [MODERN]

~Chapter 3~

My evening classes were a mess today. I couldn't find them, I was late, AND I tripped on my way in.
Fun.
F u n.  
I got home and saw that Eren's girlfriend was once again, at the condo.
I smiled and waved, then I quickly scurried to my room to take a small nap.

I wake up to the smell of french toast.
Eren was making some, it's 5pm, but I have no complaints.
I quickly rushed out of my room into the kitchen, stumbling, then proceeding to lay on the floor considering I almost fell and decided to just roll with it.
"Hey you're not dead. I made food-What are you doing on the floor?" Eren asked as he turned around.
"I'm tired." I replied.
"You just napped."
"And?"
Eren rolled his eyes in response.

I quickly ate my food and then decided to set up my desk.

...Okay so it's TELLING me that the metal bar should connect to the wooden board easily but it's not fuckin connecting to the board, so.. OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT THAT EASY.
"WHY WON'T YOU CONNECT?! THIS IS YOUR SOUL PURPOSE. JUST DO IT." I say angrily.
Ugh, I give up. Maybe I should just ask Eren to help...
But what if I'm somehow obviously doing it wrong and Eren has another thing to bust my balls about?
..Ugh fuck it, I'll take that chance. I'll just spray him with the spray bottle.
"EREN I NEED YOUR HEL- oh. Sorry. I thought Eren was here." I quickly interrupted myself noticing Madeline was the only person in sight.
"No, he went to the store." Madeline smiled.
"Alright well, I'm sure I'll be fine anyway." I nodded and turned to head back to my room.
"Oh hey wait-" Madeline once again spoke.
I stopped dead in my tracks and awkwardly turned around.
"Yeah?" I said.
"Look, I get that it's probably a little weird to have a boy as your roommate, but me and Eren are together. And he's not like that. So, you don't need to worry! " She replied, having stood up.
... What?
"Okay." I simply smiled and nodded in response, then went to walk away once again.
Suddenly, she grabbed my wrist.
"And I assume you aren't either, right?" Her grasp on my wrist tightened.
"Not my type." I smiled and said cooly, jerking my wrist back.
"Goody." She nodded.
What the hell? That was weird.

————————————————————

So, sleep isn't happening I guess.
All I can think about right now are all the nosleeps I stupidly decided to read at this hour.
What would really be nice right now is some water, my throat is drier than the desert plains.
But now all I can think about are possible dark creatures that could be waiting for me to make that decision..

I mean, they would find me either way so I may as well risk it for some water.

With that, I quickly ran down the hallway to turn on a light as fast as I could.
Suddenly, I tripped on some sort of fabric, I fell against the wall in attempts to save myself. My chin then hit the ground, causing me to groan in pain.
Suddenly, a bright light blinds me.
"Jesus? Is that you?" I groan.
"What the- [Y/N]? Why on earth are you on the floor?" Eren pinches the bridge of his nose.
"I hit my chin on the ground after tripping on..." I slowly lift up the fabric and am immediately filled with annoyance.
"Your clothes." I spat. "That were placed right in the middle of the hallway."
"Turn on a light next time?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe pick up your clothes next time?"
"I-"
"Yeah yeah whatever, I'm gonna go grab some water." I say, shooting him with my hand.

I proceed to the kitchen.
Um hold on- I hear fumbling around... is it Madeline? No... she left hours ago..
Who the fuck is in the kitchen? Can Eren teleport or something?
Quietly, I continue to the kitchen and peek around the corner.
The culprit was dressed all in black, I couldn't make out who it was... but they're fumbling through our fridge.
I quickly jump out.
"Hey! What are you?-"
The person quickly turned around with a fist heading towards my face, I tried dodging it but they still managed to hit me in the nose.
Between my movement and the fist to my face, I fell back.
"Ow! Holy fu- God!" I sit back, putting my hands over my face.
"Why'd you punch me?!" I look up, trying to make out who this person was.
"You startled me." A female voice retorted.
I examine the culprit.
A girl with medium length raven black hair hovered over me.
"Is everything okay in here?" Eren runs in.
"Yeah no it's fine I just got punched in the face." I said flatly.
"She also fell." The girl said under her breath with a faint smirk.
Eren rolls his eyes and stares at the girl.
"Hey, don't look at me. I didn't manage to hit her that hard. She fell on her own." The raven haired girl said cooly.
"Okay I'm sorry but- WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU IN OUR KITCHEN?" I look up at the roof, and then to the girl.
"Really, Eren? You didn't think to mention your dear old sister?" She scoffed.
Eren rolled his eyes.
Sister? They literally look nothing alike.. or maybe-
"My apologies, [Y/N] this is Mikasa. Mikasa, [Y/N]." Eren tried to break the ice.
I stood up and held my hand out to shake and Mikasa took the offer.
She was about my height, and very slim. I took the time to notice that she had some intriguing tattoos on various parts of her body, Beautiful girl. Knows how to throw a punch too lemme tell ya.
I dusted myself off and bowed before I made my exit.
"Nice to meet you, I'm going to go ice my entire body now."
